Hoarding Stockpiling UP in the US.

Panic buying strips store shelves as people stockpile amid with one woman turning her basement into a ‘supermarket’ and a man buying a YEAR’S supply of food which includes 192 tins of SPAM.

Nothing in the United States yet resembles what Italy witnessed in recent days – where supermarket shelves were stripped bare and videos posted on social media showed consumers coming to blows over bags of pasta.

But there is unquestionably a growing sense of urgency for people to stock up on staples and to prepare for lengthy home quarantines.

“I’m buying some flu therapy and pain killers – If I wait until next week there may be nothing left,” said Dean McKnight, a engineer in Austin, Texas, as he motioned to shelves at the HEB supermarket that were empty of several over-the-counter medications, primarily flu treatment for children.

McKnight worked in Hong Kong and China during the SARS outbreak and knows first-hand the stresses that snowballing fears of a pandemic can cause, but said he is not panicked.

      We were told to get ready for an emergency, that is not hoarding. Quit the BS. All you people that will not listen to the government and not get ready are not going to spin this to make legal robbing those that did listen. The militia chapels are busy, members are on their knees declaring war on tyrants.
